Also have you at all considered trying to upscale these into bigger fans? Thank-you. I have made fans at the following scales over the years: 1:3 scale (my largest) 1:4 scale 1:6 scale 1:10 1:12 (Popular Dollhouse scale size) 1:24 (Tiny size) 1:36 (In the works... Coming Soon). Now for fans at 1:1 scale, I would need a Time Machine... Meanwhile, in present time: 🐱😻🐈😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejon A. Boranian Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 You know, I often wondered if a Westinghouse would work with just 2 "Air injector" Rings... Last I checked, they made one with as few as 3. ...This is the proposed structure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, here's another one of -many- fans I would like to build: KMC HV Air Circulator. (No, from what I gather, they never made one...) 🤔 PICS: Proposed design, 2 types, Both with front mounted control. Unique double pole stand on each. The blade was sourced from a scrapped camping fan thing. Motor equipped is 3 pole armature, 9Volt max power. Moves much more air now, rather quiet as well.

Bejon A. Boranian Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Ah, but see, sometimes ya just gotta build you're own. Mine VS. The Original camping fan thing blade. PICS: Smooth running AND (surprisingly) it's REVERSIBLE. Probably best as a Box fan blade or reversible Air Circulator??? Lots of options with this blade.

Bejon A. Boranian Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 ... Design so far: Blade inspired by the huge WESTINGHOUSE circulator fans. Only, mine rotates Clockwise. Also, some elements of TATUNG (by Westinghouse) fans. Lastly, elements of KDK/ National Radio fans included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
